Got a long, 2" wide nylon tow strap someone formed an eye in one end of by<br />doubling the strap and knotting. A subsequent pull has left a mamoo tough<br />knot.....one with a set to it.<br /><br />I sat down and tried to pick the knot with an ice pick, trying to get any<br />kind of slack, anywhere in it. After all my finagling, I couldn't get<br />anywhere at all without piercing or tearing the strap material.<br /><br />Can anyone offer me any further tips or tricks so I can salvage the strap<br />intact?<br /><br />If not, what I guess I'll do is simply cut out the knot part and take the<br />remaining two pieces to a shoe shop and get 'em lapped and sewn across in a<br />number of places. That way I'll have a 25% shorter tow strap, but still<br />good to go.
